The ENY M8 Android TV Box comes with a rather small remote with a limited set of buttons. Though the remote works quite well for navigating, it does not provide a smooth experience when using XBMC. Buttons like “play”, “pause”, “Next” and “Previous” are not available. Many people have a programmable universal remote. Those with a Logitech Harmony are in luck; after many hours of puzzling I created a full set of configuration files for the IR-controller, Android and XBMC, including explanations, to fully make use of the universal remote. Follow the instructions below:

; Logitech Harmony Remote / Pivos XIOS DS Media Player remote ; for ENY M8 Android TV Box ; ; Author: Johan van Zoomeren ; Date : June 28th 2014 ; ; Original M8 remote is not available in the Logitech Database. Pivos XIOS DS is ; available in the Logitech database and is sending IR codes using required NEC ; protocol. Though physically this remote does not have a lot buttons, the ; Logitech database provides more. All of which are mapped below. ; ; Factory code XIOS DS Remote: 0xbd020001 ; Factory code M8 Remote : 0xfe010001 ; ; Test new remote config: ; ; 1. Setup your Harmony remote using the Logitech software. Add the Pivos XIOS DS Media Player ; device: ; ; Vendor: Pivos ; Model: XIOS DS ; ; 2. cp harmoney-m8.conf to /sdcard/harmoney-m8.conf # on the M8 ; ; 3. remotecfg /sdcard/harmoney-m8.conf # changes are active immediately, but lost with a reboot ; ; Install new remote config: ; ; 1. mount -o remount,rw /system ; 2. cp /system/etc/remote.conf /system/etc/remote.conf.org ; 3. cp /sdcard/harmoney-m8.conf /system/etc/remote.conf ; 4. mount -o remount,ro /system ; ; IR-code to Linux-keycode mapping: /system/etc/remote.conf ; Linux-keycode to Android keycode: /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_0001_Product_0001.kl ; Android keycode to XBMC action : /storage/emulated/legacy/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/ke ; ; Debugging IR-Codes: cat /proc/kmsg | grep -v -e CTS_ -e 'need set max' -e gpufre \ ; -e instance -e freq -e policy \ ; -e 'default max state' -e state= \ ; -e temp= ; Debug XBMC keyboard codes: Enable debugging and watch temp/xbmc.log. ; ; Add the following to Vendor_0001_Product_0001.kl to get the PAGE UP and PAGE ; DOWN to work: ; ; key 177 PAGE_UP ; key 178 PAGE_DOWN ; ; ; To improve XBMC remote control experience add some overrides to keyboard.xml in: ; /storage/emulated/legacy/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps: ; ; <keymap> ; <global> ; <keyboard> ; <menu>ContextMenu</menu> ; </keyboard> ; </global> ; <FullscreenVideo> ; <keyboard> ; <menu>OSD</menu> ; <one>XBMC.ActivateWindow(subtitlesearch)</one> ; <two>SubtitleDelayPlus</two> ; <three>SubtitleDelayMinus</three> ; <four>SubtitleDelay</four> ; <up mod="alt">AudioDelayPlus</up> ; <down mod="alt">AudioDelayMinus</down> ; <left mod="alt">SubtitleDelayMinus</left> ; <right mod="alt">SubtitleDelayPlus</right> ; </keyboard> ; </FullscreenVideo> ;</keymap> ; ; Buttons one, two, three, four and five are remapped to other actions. On the ; harmoney remote these number buttons could be remapped to left-over physical ; buttons like: blue, yellow, red, green, channel+, channel- and record. ; ; ; Due to Logitech Harmony remote programming limitations, some tricks are needed ; to get the power button to work correctly: ; ; To Power-On the original M8 POWER WAKE code needs to be send because this IR ; code is hard-coded in the M8. The device will wake-up. Once woken up, the ; remotecfg loads /system/etc/remote.conf, with our new config for the XIOS DS. ; This remote.conf configures a different factory code and apparantly will never ; respond to the original M8 POWER WAKE signal. Device won't power-of(sleep). ; Logitech does not allow us to add IR key codes, and does not allow to map ; specific keycodes to the power-on or power-off functionality of the harmoney ; remote. To overcome we can map another (hardly used) button, like CodeInfo* ; to the Android POWER WAKE signal. Effectivly, pressing the "CodecInfo" will ; power-off(sleep) the device. To complete the harmony remote programming, add ; the *CodecInfo as an additional shutdown command to the activity. Pressing ; 'All Off' on the harmoney remote will power-off(sleep) the M8. ; ; ; To make usre that the Harmoney remote is not putting delays between ; keypresses, to remain close to the original M8 remote experience, make sure to: ; ; - Set inter-key delay to : 0ms ; - Set key repeat delay to : 0 ; - Set interdevice delay for each device to: 0ms (only possible from remote) ; ; ; Havily depended on this thread to get this all to work: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?9573-Prometheus-Univer #********************************************************************************************************* #this file is configuration for each factory remote device # work_mode 0 :software mode 1 ;BACK # repeat_enable 0 :disable repeat 1 ;BACK # # factory_code each device has it's unique factory code. # pattern:custom_code(16bit)+index_code(16bit) # examble: 0xff000001 = 0xff00(custom cod) 0001 (index) # # release_delay unit:ms.release will report from kernel to user layer after this period of time # from press or repeat triggered. # # debug_enable 0 :debug disable 1 ;BACK # # SW MODE: # bit_count how many bits in each frame # tw_leader_act time window for leader active # tw_bit0 time window for bit0 time. # tw_bit1 time window for bit1 time # tw_repeat_leader time window for repeat leader # REG # reg_base_gen set value for PREG_IR_DEC_BASE_GEN # reg_control set value for PREG_IR_DEC_CONTROL # reg_leader_act set value for PREG_IR_DEC_LEADER_ACTIVE # reg_leader_idle set value for PREG_IR_DEC_LEADER_IDLE # reg_repeat_leader set value for PREG_IR_DEC_REPEAT_IDLE # reg_bit0_time set value for PREG_IR_DEC_BIT0_TIME #************************************************************************************************************* factory_code = 0xbd020001 work_mode = 0 repeat_enable = 1 repeat_delay = 40 repeat_peroid = 39 release_delay = 121 debug_enable = 1 key_begin ; Code = IR keycode ; Linux = Linux keycode ; Android = Android keycode ; Button = Description button on remote ; ; Buttons with a * are not mapped to physical buttons on the harmonay remote. ; ; Code Linux Android Button ; ---- ----- ------------- ------ 0xe3 30 ; A AudioDelay* 0xd8 70 ; EXPLORER Browser* 0xd9 116 ; POWER WAKE CodecInfo* 0x90 14 ; DEL Delete 0xd2 108 ; DPAD_DOWN DirectionDown 0x99 105 ; DPAD_LEFT DirectionLeft 0xc1 106 ; DPAD_RIGHT DirectionRight 0xca 103 ; DPAD_UP DirectionUp 0x84 33 ; F FastForward 0x95 102 ; HOME Home 0xc5 23 ; I Info 0xd6 125 ; MENU Menu 0x80 113 ; VOLUME_MUTE Mute 0xe1 38 ; L NextSubtitle* 0xc2 52 ; .
